The Kulturverlag Kadmos is a non-fiction and fiction publishing house founded in Berlin in 1995.

The publisher's name refers to Greek Mythology and is named after Kadmos, the son of Phoenicia King Agenor of Tyros: While searching for his sister Europe kidnapped by Zeus, Kadmos brought the Phoenician alphabet to Greece.

The initial programme included Daniel Paul Schreber's Memories of a Nervous Patient, Charles Babbage's Passages from a Philosopher's Life and biographies of Walt Disney and Ada Lovelace.

The special series are the scientific „Kadmos Kaleidogramme"[5] and the Berlin Programme of Media Studies edited by Wolfgang Ernst und Friedrich Kittler.
